Subject: New position at DNR: Landslide Hazard Geologist-NR Scientist 2

Good morning-

The new Landslide Hazards Program has an entry-level position for a Landslide Hazards Geologist open at DNR! Please pass this email on to alumni and other geologists that may be interested in the position. I hope all is going great at WWU!

Here is the position profile:

The Division of Geology and Earth Resources (Washington Geological Survey) is seeking an entry-level geologist with experience in landslides and slope stability issues to be part of the new Landslide Hazards program. Working as part of a team and with guidance from the Landslide Hazards program manager, the primary duty of the position is to identify and map landslides from lidar derivatives, orthoimagery, and field reconnaissance and to populate a landslide inventory for inclusion into a state-wide landslide inventory. Mapped landslides will then be incorporated and published in landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk maps for use by local, state, and tribal governments, the public, and those interested in the landslide hazards of Washington. As part of the publication of these maps the geologist will assist with outreach and education for map users.

As a team member of the Landslide Hazards program, this position will play a role in the direction of the program, including developing protocols for landslide mapping and geodatabase creation and support. We will develop our position as a leader in assessing landslide hazards for the state, as well as researching and publishing interesting landslide problems to advance the understanding of landslides and landslides hazards. Collaboration on research and projects with government agencies, academia, and private industry is encouraged. The position will also assist in emergency response to geologic events and emergencies, including providing technical assistance and scientific consultation to local, state, and tribal governments on the interpretation and application of hazards throughout the state.

Cheers,
Stephen
